| Pounds - yardage
In an old issue of Golf Magazine, there was an interesting page about the relationship between weight and yardage. There are rare players who can drive the yardage twice their weight in pounds. Examples are Annika Sorenstam and Hidemichi Tanaka, both around 140 pounds and drive about 280 yards.
This has me thinking. I'm 5'8 and weigh 128 pounds, and the good drives I can make (without any wind helping) is about 260 yards, and make an average of 245 yards. So making an average of 280 yards seems unrealistic.
How much do you guys (and gals) weigh and how long do you drive max (without any wind) and average ? |
